New maps!
Utilization of the skill system!
Displayed growths and other neat conveniences!
New weapons and palettes!
Brand new characters,
And some more familiar ones, too.
Even some custom animations!
And a tip system, too!

Some special thanks:
Kao, Pikmin1211, paterick, P33RL355, SD9000, Kyubey, DerTheVaporeon, and Kirb. Yep, that’s the entire Resonance team. If it hadn’t been for you all, I wouldn’t have been confidant enough to work on a hack to where I am now.

cardcafe, Kao, DerTheVaporeon, and Fatih for being good mods on the TE discord server.

Literally like everyone on Ft. Mangs’ Patreon chat for showing such amazing support for the hack in general

But in an even higher regard is @Kirb, who introduced me to Fire Emblem ROMhacking. Without him, I wouldn’t be here with this project.

Of course, you, the viewer, deserve a big credit for even taking the time to read this thread and show your interest in my work.
But most of all is Intelligent Systems and Nintendo. What game franchise would we love without you guys?

GLITCHES:
Beating Prologue takes you to a very early version of 5x.
In 5x, you cannot seize the throne. Instead, the seize point is actually a tile adjacent to Marisa. Seize with Groznyi.
If Groznyi dies, 5x becomes unwinnable (his death doesn’t trigger a gameover unlike Ephraim)
If you beat 5x, you continue on to a vanilla version of Ch6, to which the rest of the vanilla FE8 lies ahead. Caellach, Fir, and Farina join your army here, even though they’re not supposed to.
Using the guide feature in any chapter other than the prologue triggers a game crash.

Much of the writing here is laughably bad due to it being my first try at writing back two months ago. Characters are frequently referred by different names of older versions (Hawke being called Valter, Bone being called a skeleton when he’s a warrior now), etc. This will be updated soon.
